a bit of history:- London Road Fire Station is a former fire station, police station and coroner's court, in Manchester, England. Designed and built between 1904 - 1906 by Woodhouse, Willoughby & Langham at a cost of £142 000. Until 1974 and the formation of the Greater Manchester Fire Service, it was the headquarters of the Manchester Fire Brigade.Built of red brick and terracotta by Burmantofts it is now a Grade II listed building in the Whitworth Street conservation area. Since 2001 the building has been listed as “at risk” by English Heritage.


was decribing this as some sort of racking earlier, but since found out that it was a victorian laundry drier.
